Dutch company IX Decom, part of IX Renewables, has signed an agency agreement with MCL Group to bring pre-owned wind turbines to Ukraine to boost the resilience of its energy system.
IX Decom specialises in the decommissioning and trade of pre-owned wind turbines, while MCL Group is a multidisciplinary Ukrainian company specialising in the full-cycle development of wind energy projects.
Under this agreement, the two parties are authorised to represent each other and provide wind turbine development and sales services to Ukraine.
As an initial step under the deal, the partners are planning the delivery of at least 12 pre-owned wind turbines to Ukraine. Three of them – Vestas V90 3MW turbines – have been delivered by IX Renewables and their French partner Gensun. and acquired by one of MCL’s partners.
These turbines have undergone a full overhaul by the original manufacturer.
Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has lost over 9GW of power generation capacity. In this context, the partners said that decentralised energy solutions are no longer optional – they are essential.
Unlike large-scale wind farms, pre-owned turbines are typically installed in small numbers (one to five units per site), making them ideal for distributed generation and greater grid flexibility.
MCL Group chief executive Mykola Gerasymenko said: “Ukraine’s energy recovery must begin from the ground up – through decentralisation, diversification, and rapid deployment of all available technologies.
“Our partnership with IX Renewables enables exactly that. Refurbished wind turbines offer a realistic and scalable path to energy independence for communities and businesses that cannot wait.
“These are not temporary solutions – these are long-term infrastructure assets, restored and ready to serve a new purpose: stabilising Ukraine’s energy system in the face of war.”
All turbines offered through the partnership will undergo independent technical inspections to assess their condition. Full operational history reviews will be carried out before refurbishment.
There will be strict selection criteria, with only turbines that have operated for no more than 10-15 years being eligible for resale.
By combining technical diligence, international standards, and local expertise, the companies say they can ensure that Ukrainian customers receive reliable and high-performance renewable assets – at a fraction of the cost of new equipment.
IX Renewables’ chief operating officer and IX Decom managing director Marvin Clazing said: “This partnership is more than a business transaction; it shapes the possibility to give these beautiful machines a second life and produce clean energy for many more years.
“And beyond that, it feels like a meaningful contribution…to the brave Ukrainian people in their fight for (energy) independency.”
